Friday Late: Power, play and politics

Grab some shoulder pads, blast out some Duran Duran and get ready for a wicked 1980s themed Friday Late at London Transport Museum in Covent Garden.

Specially curated for the Museum’s Poster Girls exhibition, and with music, bars, special curator led tours, talks, 1980s style gaming, creative workshops and bonkers bingo, guests will be able to enjoy the Museum in a different way after hours.

Revealing subcultures, power dressing and passionate protests, highlights of the evening include:

Retro Arcade – relive the nostalgia of playing 1980s and 90s consoles and games in our pop-up retro arcade. Battle N64 favourites like Mario Kart and take on classics from NES, Megadrive, Super Street Fighter II, Duck Hunt and PacMan

Friday Late visitors can explore the Museum’s Poster Girls – a century of art and design exhibition which celebrates the often hidden contribution of female artists to the rise of the poster over the last one hundred years with over 130 original posters and artworks on display in the Exterion Media Gallery.
